LONDON THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 15, 1838. The speech of King LEOPOLD, at the opening of the Belgian Chambers, on Tuesday, will be found in another column. Though wanting in distinctness, like all Kings' speeches, we learn with pleasure from it, that Belgium steadily advances in prosperity and civilization—that the public spirit which encourages the intersection of the country with railways is not negligent of the cultivation of a taste for the fine arts —and that the Government is equally desirous of im proving domestic institutions, and extending the com mercial relations of the Belgian people. Some disap pointment will doubtless be felt at the tenor of the paragraph in the speech which states that the Hol lando-Belgic question is not yet definitively arranged. Timid persons may be led to fear that more is meant than meets the eye in the allusion to the terms upon which only the KING will sign a treaty with Holland, —the more especially as his MAJESTY is resolved to keep up his present war establishment. We en tertain no such apprehensions. In the official lan guage of a constitutional monarchy so recently esta blished as that of Belgium, and under circumstances, too, so savouring of foreign tutelage, nothing can be better calculated to put the national Representatives in good humour with themselves and their country than now and then a swaggering paragraph in a Royal ad dress, by way of harmlessly offering defiance to al Europe. When Belgium has become more familiar with her position, and when she has learned that by having recourse to arbitration the most powerful nations best consult their true dignity, she will not require to be informed by the SOVEREIGN that he is prepared to resent, by force of arms, a violation of the national honour, to which England, France, Austria, Prussia, and Russia, must be jointly consenting parties. We suspect, however, the Ilia cause of the delay in the arrangement of this question to be, a design on the part of Louis PHILIPPE to reserve for himself the distinction of being the first to announce the adjustment of all differences between Holland and Belgium. His Most Christian MA JESTY, in our opinion, reserves it as a pet paragraph in his speech to the French Chambers, convoked for the 17th of December, by way of set-off against the announcement of the evacuation of Ancona, and the disastrous state of affairs in Spain. A Royal speech, recounting the achievements of MONTEBELLO in Switzerland—of the French squadron in the Mexican Gulf—of the emissaries of Count MOLE in the Peninsula—and winding up with the evacuation of Ancona, would not be palatable to many Members of the Chamber of Deputies, notwithstanding the Court servility of a large majority of that body. We there fore suspect that the " NAPOLEON of Peace" has reserved this savoury morsel of gratifying intelligence to assist the announcement of the birth and future glories of the Count of PARIS, in reconciling the Chambers to the rest of the entertainment to which his MAJESTY has invited them. The corn averages continue to rise, and those pub lished to day rule the price of last week at 725, 11d. Last Thursday the average was 695. 5d., and the rise of price in the week is therefore 3s. 6d. In the London Market 4,288 quarters were sold at 745. 2d. 9 • in Essex, 3,430 a t 70 s . 11d .; i n Yorkshire, 12,948, at 723. 2d., all of which were no doubt bona fide sales. The weevely wheat from the granaries, and the ill grown grains of the present ycar bare probably now been in some measure disposed of, and the price is rising to the Guildford price, that of good wheat, which this week is 775. 6d. Th e average o f the six weeks is 675. 6d., and the duty is 18s. Bd., while the actual price we are paying for wheat in London is 745. 2d. The markets, therefore, must rise considerably higher than 735., before corn comes in at a nominal duty, or it must be at that exor bitant price for six weeks before the people can eat one morsel of untaxed bread. Corn does not c ome i n free of duty the instant the price reaches 735., and not till it has been at the rate of 735. during six weeks. It is quite possible, therefore, that the price of corn, if it continues to rise at its present rate, may be 90s. a quarter in th e Metropolis before the duty is ls. ; and that prices will continue to rise we have no doubt. The accounts from the North this week state, that the winter has set in unusually early, and prevented the farmers in the hi g h l an d s f rom getting in their crops. We copy a paragraph to this effect from the Glasgow Chronicle, and believe that it is gene rally true. Over and over again it has been stated that no great addi t i ona l supp l y can b e go t from the Continent of Europe. The last accounts from Odessa, whence we might perhaps get some wheat, state that prices were rising there, and had caused some embarrassment to the operations of the Russi an arm i es . It has been conjectured that the Russian Government may find in this circum stance a pretext to prohibit exportation. In order therefore to ensure us a sufficient supply till next harvest, prices must rule high ; and bets, it is re ported, have been laid in the City, that before Christmas the price of the four-pound loaf will be fourteen pence. Perhaps the landowners look at these with szltisfaction, and, encouraged by the submissiveness of the people, say with the Marquis of CHANDOS, " things arc now going on well ; pray let them alone." But in our opinion, when wheat is at 745. 2d, per quarter in London, a::d the duty is 18s. Bd., things are not going on well, and it is our business to say so. The working classes, whi'o they have put forth an address scouting the very idea of submitting to leaders, have in fact suffered some leaders, who have their own purposes in view, to make them neglect an excellent opportunity for getting rid of the Corn-laws. Though they may not believe us—and prefer, as the Herald assures us, its doctrines, that the abolition of the Corn-laws would not increase wages—they may, per haps, listen to Mr. FIELDEN with some attention. In a letter to the Elitor of the Times, published in that Journal this morning, Jr. FIELDEN says,— " However opinions arty ‘! , 11"r m to the best means necessary f.n- the relief of the suff.,ing roar or, the land, at the loom, and in the factory, there can be but one opinion among ill well dispcsed members (..t Fouirty, that relief in some way or other ought to be innnAia'ely extended to them. " It is the state of r.rt.tched poverty to which this class of working people is reduced, by having only half of what their forefathers had in r( turn fif th,ir labour (on the land, at the loom, and at many other cenp:tiens), and the fear entertained by others who are better pai I for their labour of being re duced to the same state of clesli:ution, th.A has induced many very reluctantly to comli: - ,e to prevent their wages from being further reduced. In fact ireple are almost in a state of despair, and unless si.m,:tl,irg be speedily done to pl.!ce the under-paid and over- worh4:abolrers and artisans cf England in a better condition, I very mooch fear there can be no secu rity for either life or propety fir any length of time." In submitting to tile Corn-laws, however, there is a guarantee for the contirmance of this wretchedness, of which Mr. FIELD EN scorns not to be aware. If the quantity of food cannot keep up with the growth of population, populltion must be starved down to the level of the food. Such a starvation process is ac cordingly now going on, and it falls on those who work, whether at " the land, or the loom." As it takes effect, as in this country for some years past, society rubs on, in pain, 50rr0..7, and wretchedness. The sufferers gradually become habituated " to half wha t their forefathers had," and cease to struggle for more they come even to suppor.c, like the Irish, that they have no claim to anything better ; they remain con tented with the lowest description of food and the smallest quantity of it, till, broken down in physical constitution and spirit, they } kid themselves to despair, and society becomes such as we now find it in Ireland. Every day which the English artizans and labourers, with the Irish at their bor living on Lumpers, and con tinually pouring in on them in thousands, submit to the starving process of the Corn-laws, tends to recon cile them to their degraded condition, and permanently to fix them in it. To tame both men and animals, no process is so efficacious as stinting their food : and those are short-sighted friends of the working classes, who recommend them to submit .to the regimen of the Corn-laws, from supposing that, if they get plenty of food, they will become contented slaves. In the Limerick Chronicle of the 10th instant, we find a long report of the proceedings at a public meet ing held in that city on the previous day, for the pur pose of hearing from Messrs. HAWLEY and HAN COCK, Assistant Poor-law Commissioners, an account of the means by which they proposed to carry the provisions of the Irish Poor-law into effect in that district. The MAYOR presided, and the meeting was attended by Lords CLARE and CLARINA, the Hon. J. P. VEREKER, Mr. ROCHE, M.P., and most of the influential gentlemen of the city and county of Limerick. The Cominissioners severally addressed the meeting at great length ; carefully explaining to the gentlemen assembled the provisions of the Act, and pointing out how, by allowing it to come fairly into operation, not only would there be no considerable increase in the present amount of rates, but that a powerful stimulus would be given to industry throughout the country. They entered very minutely into the statistics of the city of Limerick ; pointed out abuses in the applica tion of the funds set aside for charitable purposes— abuses which only a general Poor-law Bill could re medy—and proved to the satisfaction of the meeting that a rate not exceeding is. in the pound would cover all the expenses ofthe establishment and successful opera ation of a complete system of Poor-laws, in a city more noted for the relative numbers and excessive destitution of its indigent inhabitants than any in Ireland. The explanations of the Commissioners afforded great and general satisfaction ; thanks were unanimously voted to them ; and when the business of the meeting was over, the noblemen and gentlemen present were profuse in their offers to render them every possible assistance. This is a good beginning ; and we doubt not but that if the other Com missioners act as prudently as Messrs. HAWLEY and HANCOCK have done in Limerick, the Poor law Bill will be established in Ireland in that spirit of amity and union, which only is wanted to make it one of the most salutary boons that ever was offered to the Irish nation. Out of charity to Louis PHILIPPE, one would have supposed that on granting permission to the wife of Dox CARLOS to pass through the French territory, he would have exacted as one of the conditions a solemn engagement to mitigate the horrors of the civil war now raging in Spain. This would have been re garded as an act of atonement for the mark of favour to the Pretender, but that no such condition had been agreed to, the events subsequent to her arrival incon testibly prove. The presence of this woman in the camp, in place of fresh impetus the tyr an t, a pp ea rs to have given a impetu s t o hi s sangu i nary di s p os ition. Wholesale executions now d a ily occur as ma tt e rs of course, and a line of barbarous and exterminating policy, unknown in modern times, is sy s t emat i ca lly carried on, which even this reckl ess P r i nce wou ld not h ave Yen tured to adopt, in defiance of any positive or implied condition made with the French Government. The obvious plan of these monsters now is to put to death all the Christinos that fall into their hands, and however shocked, we are not at all surprised at the result, seeing that in addition to a disposition naturally cruel, Don CARLos is now urged on by a revengeful woman and a bigotted priest—the most dangerous of counsellors. The sister of Don MIGUEL, whose atrocities even Lord ABERDEEN could not palliate, was of all persons in the world, the most likely to recommend such an atrocious system, under the vain hope that it would insure speedy success; yet Louts PHILIPPE, knowing well her character, allow e d her a safe passage through his kingdom, to heap new calamitie s on a people he had solemnly engaged to dcGd. Out of evil, however, sometime eometh good, and such we anticipate will be the result of his crooked policy. The Liberal party are now driven to madness by his desertion of their cause, and by the cruelties of Don CARLos; they are forming juntas, and raising have no hop e e i t h er for peace or militia, to p ut down the imbecile y th b e u y t n themselves, an d are evidently persona Govern undergo s!:fr•ring in preference t o sub prepared to tin( •i , • dreadful l me sa n f t e ; t ,A.re n, ), mission tr, Zha t:s -s been anticipated for th e l ast but it is only what 1, twelve mouths: The aniMosity of the two parties is now beyond the control of Foreign Powers. They must fight the battle themselves ; acd, looking at the numbers on each side, and the horrible cruelties which result from the Dutango decree, and call down the vengeance of Heaven ; we confidently trust that LOUIS PHILIPPE will not rejoice with the victors. In the Augsburg Gazette of the 9th inst., we find a letter from Athens, dated the 27th ult., announcing a revolutionary outbreak in the island of Candia. According to this report, the ChristiarCS' and Turks united against the subjects of MEHEMET ALl—for the most part Egyptian Arabs—and drove them out of the island. The Pacha, in an attempt to quell the insurrection, is reported to have been killed on the spot. This affair is exceedingly improbable ; but as it appears in an influential German Journal, and as we have our selves no authentic information on the subject, we cannot avoid giving currency to it. That there has been some disturbance is probable enough, as the Turks and Egyptians are always quarrelling, but the report of a revolutionary movement appears to us preposterous. Lamentable intelligence from Spain will be found in another column. The reign of terror has actually commenced : murder has at last become the order of the day ! Christinos vie with Carlists in the work of slaughter; and in the record of their joint cruelties, LOUIS PHILIPPE may read the consequences of his abandonment of the Quadruple Treaty. But what all this liktly to end in ? Heaven only knows. Per haps the ruin of posh parties in the Peninsula, and the proclamation of a Republic, and then the CITIZEN KING must light to defend the Crown be wears. Blood is the intoxicating draught of nations. Spain evidently begins to reel under the influence of what she has innocently shed, and in her madne:ls, there is no saying what frantic act she will not perpetrate.

I Rye MUNICIPAL EXPENDITUIIE.-A correspondent has sent us an account of the Municipal expenses of Salisbury ; but as we are ignorant of the expenses of last year, we have no means of instituting any comparison. He complains, however, of five or six councillors being tradesmen, who supply articles for the use of the borough. He adds, " the Municipal Act says persons engaged in supplying the borough shall not be eligible to be chosen of the Town Council, and shall be liable to a penalty if disqualified, but there is no fine for serving after they are chosen. The race-cup and charities he says arise from legacieS which the old Corporation received for thos3 purposes, but expended in some other way, and now the inhabitants have to pay rates to make up all deficiencies." Yesterday morning, between seven and eight o'clock, as some men were employed pulling down an old house in Shelton's-court, Clerkenwell, part of the wall upon which one of them was standing suddenly gave way, and he fell with a heap of rubbish from a height of nearly thirty feet, by which he received a concussion of the brain. A man named Styles, who was standing underneath, was buried under the rubbish. On being extricated it was found that his arm was fractured. Both men were immediately removed to the hospital, where the former lies in a very precarious state. Yesterday morning a journeyman painter named Downs, in the service of Mr. Such, Bagnigge-wells-road, while standing outside on the sill of the second floor window, of No. 7, North -street, Pen tonville, missed his footing, and fell on the steps of the door. He was dreadfully injured, his skull being fractured, and one of his legs broken. He was carried to the University College Hospital. Saturday afternoon several of the railway men were discharged from their employment near Rotherham ; amongst the rest an Irishman, who was about coming with the train to Sheffield, but he refused to pay for a ticket for a woman who was with him, and with whom, it was said, he had cohabited for the last two years. As it seemed he wished to part from her, the poor woman applied to those in authority for a free passage. This was of course refused, when she said she would drown herself. Soon after she threw herself from the wooden bridge into the river; there being a fresh current in the water at the time, every attempt to save her was of no avail. One nan courageously leaped into the water to swim to her rescue ; but the current was so strong that his own life was placed in great jeopardy.—Derby Paper. A most diabolical attempt to marder his wife was made by a man named Whelan, on Sunday morning, under the fol lowing circumstances :—The fellow, it,appeared, was a servant out of place, and had recently come up here from Limerick, of which place he was a native. He was accompanied by his wife ; they stopped at a lodging-house, where on Saturday night some altercation occurred between them. The difference was apparently reconciled, on which he proposed that it would be best for thein to sail by the next morning's packet for Li verpool, to try their fortune there. She consented, and ac cordingly accompanied him to the quay, shortly after six o'clock. It being some time before the hour of sailing, he asked her to walk down the North-wall for the purpose of keeping themselves warm. On getting beyond the houses the villain suddenly caught his unsuspecting partner in his arms, heaved the intended victim into the river, and fled. The poor creature shrieked fearfully while being plunged over the quay edge. Fortunately her cries brought one or the coast-guard to her assistance ; he, without a moment's delay, dsshed in after her, and succeeded in rescuing her from a watery grave. She was conveyed in a state of insensibility to the station house in Sackville-place, where Inspector Rutland had the most proper means promptly resorted to that the poor crea ture's case required. She was subsequently removed to Jervis -street Hospital, where she lies at present. The police are making the most strenuous efforts for the apprehension of the miscreant.—Dublin Freeman. Stolen from the National Gallery on Wednesday, a brown silk umbrella, also a black silk umbrella, and a piece of gold inlaid at the top. On Saturday night, between eight and nine o'clock, from the house of Mr. Taylor, 28, Bennett street, Stamford -street, a stomach-pump and two elastic tubes, four linen shirts, a corn rubber, a dressing case, be sides several other articles. On Sunday night the house of Mr. Heikenbotham, pawnbroker, New -cut, was broken into, and robbed of two silver waiters and several other articles of plate. The same night the house of Mr. Scott, No. 19, Prescott street, Newington, was entered and robbed of a con siderable quantity of clothes, and other property. On the night of the Bth instant, or early the next morning, the house of a gentleman at Glasgow was broken and entered, and plate to the amount of one hundred pounds stolen. Sus picion exists against Andrew Lindsay, a gardener, who has absconded. Between one and two o'clock on Monday afternoon last, as a poor man, named D. Griskett, was crossing the road in Smithfield, a bullock, which was being driven by one of the Smithfield drovers, suddenly made a start, and, coming to Griskett, threw him into the air, and he fell with great vio lence to the ground. Before he could be picked up one of the wheels of a market cart which was passing along at the time went over him. He was conveyed by two men in an wparently lifeless state to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where it was discovered that his right arm had received a compound fracture ; also that he was suffering both externally and inter nally from bruises occasioned by the fall. The poor fellow lies in a very precarious state. - . MR. O'CONNELL AT THURLES.-111C D/16/in Evening Mail of Monday has an elaborately dull articlethe end and aim of which appears to be not merely to di ' sparag e Mr. O'Connell himself, who is politely designated a " sinhin ( demagogue," but also to prove that the cause advocated by the Learned and Hon. Gentleman is irretrievably ruined.

Preparations h ad been mad e for 300. So fir there was a.failure as to ' the p h y sical nu mbers.'

ASTOUNDING IMPROVEMENT IN ACOUSTICS, &c.—An ingenious person has invented a new method for conveying orders to coachmen, postilions, footmen, and cads, from the inside of the vehicles they may drive or attend. It consists of flexible India rubber tubes, passing between the ins and the outs, so that the wishes of the former may be promptly communicated to, and be obeyed by, the latter, as is done through the metallic tubes in counting-houses, manufactories, &c.

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE.--A very lengthened investigation took place yesterday, at Union Hall Police-office, relative to a charge brought against the mistress of a respect able lodging-house, in the Dover-road, by a girl who had re cently been in her service. According to the girl's statement, her mistress had entered her bed-room on Monday night, after she was in bed, and threatening to stab her in case of refusal, had compelled her to drink some liquid, apparently for the purpose of stupifying her. Subsequently her mistress bad returned to the bed-room in company with a gentleman, and held complainant down while that person committed a capital assault upon her, in spite of her shrieks and struggles. The accused, on being asked what she had to say in reply, appeared amazed at the charge. She said the girl had been in her ser vice about a fortnight, and on the night in question had got into the bed of her mistress instead of her own, and being re monstrated with, began screaming, and could with difficulty be induced to go to her own apartment. The next morning complainant left the house, but returned in the evening, and collected a crowd of persons, for which she was given into custody, but the charge was not pressed. The complainant had omitted all mention of this circumstance in stating her case; but, on reference to the constables at the station-house it was found to be correct. The accused solemnly denied the charge in every particular, and called a female lodger, who swore that complainant, in detailing to her the particulars of the outrage, had stated that the gentleman who had assaulted her was her master, whereas, before the Magistrate, she said the party in question was one of the lodgers. The girl per sisting in the truth of her statement, the inquiry was adjourned for the production of medical evidence. The Manchester Courier will have it that the Municipal Elections throughout the country display in their results a growing attachment in "the people" to Conserva tive principles, and consequently a proportionate distaste of those held by the Liberals. The Courier's argument and analysis display a good deal of ingenuity. To a " provincial" who has an eye fer the sublime in horse-flesh the London waggon steeds rivet his at • tention at the very outset. This was decidedly the case with James Hogg; and the young gentlemen who acted as cice rone to him during his visit to the metropolis informed us that though he often called his attention to scenes of interest, ar ticles of vertu, or to an eqWpage, adorned by a galaxy of Lon don fair ones, the Bard of Yarrow, having his eye on a glo rious team, more than onco replied, " Odd, man, never mind thae trifles; but did ever mortal see sic splendid brutes ?" Dumfries Courier. The successor of the late Sir R. Grant, in the Go vernorship of Bombay is not yet decided on. It probably awaits the meeting of the Cabinet. The Grand Duke of Hesse-Darmstadt opened the Session of the States, in person, on the 7th inst., and the Members had afterwards the honour of dining with his Serene Highness. It is stated that Otway Cave, M.P. for the Liberal Tipperary, received a notice of death if he did not quit the country. He is now in Dublin, and on Thursday was with the Lord- Lieutenant on the state of Tipperary.--LLinierick Chron.

NAPOLEON'S AMBITION.—There is something as great in Napoleon's struggles after a defeat, as in his exul tation after victory. The same wearing am bi t i on , the same consciousness that be was never made for the restraints of ordinary laws, strike one as the absorbing feelings of his soul. He could not, and he would not; descend to the level of corn- MOTI men. Amid the snows of the north, which had become the winding-sheet of half his army, he could not h e l p medi tating schemes of conquest and of government. Nothing short of the.sceptre of Europe would satisfy him. Thi s all grasping thirst for empire, which prompted him to many a triumph, p ro ved now the very cause of hi s d own f a l l. On his re turn from Russia he might with ease have settled down the Emperor of France, and sat securely, by amusing the full grown c hildren of that mercurial nati on b y f etes, and reviews, and swelling epithets. But this was no f ame. He must make another dash at Europe. He did so, and, like a too-daring eagle, he was sm itten b y the thunderbolt, and pi nne d to a desert rock.—Fraser 's Magazine.

CITY (THIS DAY), TWELVE O'CLOCK. the accotints received from Manchester this morning state that during the latter part of last week there was an improved demand for yarn, principally, it was believed, for the East India market ; and the increased prices demanded by the spinners, in consequence of the late advance in cotton, were more readily obtained than previously. Yesterday, however, the appear ance of frost (which rendered the closing of the Elbe by no means an improbable event) bad some effect in checking the demand for Germany, and the market was more quiet. The demand for manufactured goods continues to be good for the advanced season of the year. The only arrival this morning of consequence'is the Brus sels Papers, containing the King of Belgium's Speech at the opening of the Chambers, on the 13th inst. He says that his difforence with Holland is not as yet arranged ; the rights and interests of the country are the sole rule of his policy ; and these have been treated with the care which their importance re quires, and will be defended with perseverance and courage. King Leopold, in his Speech, says but little on the Dutch affairs, but he presents a bold front, and gives to understand that he is prepared for what may happen ; nevertheless the general opinion in the City is that the affairs with Holland are approaching to a settlement. The Belgian Speech, which will be found in another part of our Paper, has had some effect on the price of the Dutch Funds this morning. The Two-and-a-Half per Cents. closed yesterday at 54 and opened at 54 1 1- ; the Five per Cents. close at 1001 101, and are at present 1001 In Belgian Stock it has not made any difference as yet; they opened at the leaving off price, 104.

STEALING AN INFANT.—A young woman, named Ellen Prescott, was brought up at the New'Bailey on Monday last, charged with stealing an infant, under the following cir cumstances —Mary Roberts, the mother of the infant, which is only five weeks old, stated, that she came from Chester, and was at the overseer's office on Friday last', to ask for relief. While she was there the prisoner came in and told her they would put her in the New Bailey if she wanted any relief ; and she would get her a place, and find some one to nurse the child for her, if she were willing. Witness assented to this, and went along with the prisoner to the Crown and Cushion inn, where a servant was wanted. The mistress was not in, and they then went to the Flower Pot public house, where they stayed for two hours, and then went again to the Crown and Cushion. The prisoner said her mother lived in a yard near the Crown and Cushion, and she would nurse the child. The prisoner pointed to the house, and witness went into the Crown and Cushion, where she got the situation ; but when she went out, the prisoner, whom she had left outside with the child and a bundle of clothes, was not to be found. John Rody, a lodging-house keeper, stated, that the prisoner lodged with him, and brought the child on Friday afternoon, saving it was her uncle's, and its mother was dead, and its father had given her the clothes to pawn, to provide for it for a time. He thought it was not honestly come by, and went to her mother's, who lives in Pollard-street, and who said the prisoner's tale as to its being her aunt's child was false. Mr. Diggles said the prisoner was found at a spirit vaults : part of the clothes had been pledged, but some of them were found upon her. Mr. Maude said it was a strange story, but the prisoner might be punished for stealing the clothes. She was committed for trial.—Manchester Guardian. A numerous and desperate gang of poachers having long infested the property of the late Duke of Bridgewater, measures were taken by his trustees for their apprehension, and on Sunday morning last, between the hours of two and three, a gamekeeper, named Peter Berry, with his assistants, Thomas Sharples, John Mann, and James Harding, being on the watch for them, suddenly came upon a body of poachers, numbering thirteen or fourteen, and armed to the teeth. One of their body, on confronting the keepers, said to his compa nions, " Stand your ground, my lads 1" immediately on which they formed abreast across the cover ; and, upon Berry's ad vancing towards the person who thus commanded them, he again shouted out, " Fire your guns, my lads 1" Before, how ever, this order could be obeyed, Berry, who was nobly se. conded by his companions, rushed upon the speaker, and such was the terror which this intrepidity of the keepers inspired, that the poachers, after a short though terrific struggle, fled to a man. An active pursuit took place, which ended in the cap ture of two of the gang, one named William Waterhouse, upon whom was found a bullet and the key of an air gun, and on the ground, near the spot where he was taken, the stock of an air gun. The other man captured is named Robert Taylor. On Monday morning they were placed before Mr. Maude, at the New Bailey, Manchester, when, the statement previously given being sworn to, they were committed to take their trial at the ensuing assizes. Several nets, bags, dogs, &c., were taken possession of by the keepers. In a coal mine in the environs of Charleroy it was recently found necessary to empty the waters of a new fosse into an abandoned fosse, by taking away the plug which re tained them. As the workmen shrunk fom undertaking so perilous an operation the director of the coal mine promised a reward of 6,000 francs to any individual who would accom plish it. A needy workmin accepted the offer, and acquitted himself of his task in the following manner :—He descended into the fosse with a thick cable passed round his body, and took:with him four dogs trained for the purpose. On reach ing the bottom of the fosse he attached to the plug a cord by which the dogs were held fast. He then gave a signal that had been agreed on to his comrades to drag him up from the fosse, and on ascending rapidly called his dogs. The latter, by the efforts which they made to follow their master, removed the plug, antl the water immediately rushed with the greatest impetuosity into the abandoned fosse. Three -of the dogs were taken out alive, but the fourth was drowned. The in genious workman received the promised reward.—French Paper. On Monday morning last, whilst a number of men were at work in a large field on Cog Fea-m, near Cardiff, a fine bare made its appearance, pursued by a large dog-fox, and so intent was the latter upon its prey, that it heeded not the shouting that ensued to scare him off The hare was fre quently turned by her crafty enemy, and her escape seemed highly problematical; but Sir John Guest's gamekeeper com ing up at the time, he decided it is favour of poor puss, by the unerring aim with which he lodged the contents of his Joe Manton into her pursuer.—Cambrian. Letters from Berlin speak of a proposed increase o the Russian army. The Duni/Hes Courier, noticing the Municipal Elections in that town, says—" Generally speaking, on the present occasion, the election was not regarded with much ex. citement till the very day of its occurrence ; and where there w;l9 a contest, it was influenced morn by local interest than by political principle." This remark, we incline to believe, ap plies to more places than one in England, as well as in Scot land. CHANCERY COURT .-(THiS DA-Y. TAYLOR V.

The ATTORNEY-GENFRAL said the present case turned upon the construction of the Poor-law Amendment Act, and the; rule called noon the Poor-law Commissioners to shew cause why a writ of certiorari should not issue to bring into that Court certain orders and regulations of the Poor-law Com missioners, bearing date the 7th of March, 1836, whereby the Guardians of the Poor of the Strand Union were ordered to appoint a person to collect the rat( aof the said Union. The application was made at the instance of Mr. D. Coghill, collector of rates for St. Paul's, Covent-garden, one of the parishes in eluded in the Union. The Poor-law Commissioners, by virtue of the powers vested in them by the 46th section of the Poor -lays Amendment Act, directed the Guardians of the Poor of the Strand Union, which had been previously formed under their authority, to elect a collector for the Union, and they defined %that the duties of the collector should he. It appeared that pursuant to their order a collector was appointed, but subse queritly there was another parish collector appointed for St. Covent-gaeden, and it was by that local collector that the present application was made. It was objected—first, that the Poor-law Commissioners (independently of any local Act) had no authority to direct the election of such an officer ; a nd secondly, that if they had that power, there was a local Act for _St. Paul, Covent -garden, which rendered such order null. To show that the .Poor-1 aw Commissioners had no • authority, it was only necessary for him to refer to the 46th section, which provided that they might direct the Guardians of the Poor of an:% parish, or Union, to appoint such officers as they might deem necessary to carry the provisions of the Act into eff_ct. It appeared fret?' that section that the power of the Poor-law Commissioners mus most extensive, and be would now refer them to the 109th .s,ection, and the interpre' tation of the word "officer" about which there had been .' 5O much discussion. Among the persons enumerated there was distinctly specified the " collector." The duty of the Guardians extended to saying how much was nece:xsary to support th e boor of the U n i o n, to appropriate the sum to'.be by each parish, and it was unnecessary toP point out the P. portance of having the officer, whose duty at was to collet,. these rents, aointed by a Guardian of the Poor, rather tba: the parish authorities. He submitted, therefore, That in leakier, the order in question, the Poor-law Commissioners had in rie way exceeded their authority, • Mr. T HESSIGER w as h ear d i n support of the rule. T be Learned Counsel proceeded to cite several authorities and de cisions under the Poor. law Amendinent Act, in support of argument, and concluded by submitting that the rule of certi rani must be made absolute. The COURT, after conferring together for some time, said would take time to consider its judgment. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY•) MAIDSTONE ELECTION. —VECTOR V.
